The Name Of the Band Is... CD

$19.99

More than 25 years into a trailblazing career, Cowboy Mouth continues to fire on all cylinders- with a new album and a new cross-country tour planned for the first half of 2016.

Since "Jenny Says" turned them into radio stars during the mid-'90s, the New Orleans-based rockers — led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fred LeBlanc — have performed for more than 9 million fans, dishing out a rowdy, redemptive sound that's rooted in the party-friendly spirit of the Big Easy. They've become genuine road warriors along the way, playing more than 2,500 shows. With new songs in the pipeline and new tour dates on the books, the timing couldn't be better for a greatest hits album.

Scheduled for a spring 2016 release, The Name of the Band Is… rounds up some of the band's biggest songs, mixing crowd favorites like "Love of My Life," "Tell the Girl You're Sorry" and "Easy" into the same decade-spanning tracklist. Also included are new tunes — "Broken Up" and "Bad Men" — which match the band's percussive, garage-rock stomp with pop hooks. As a whole, The Name of the Band Is… celebrates Cowboy Mouth's past and future, shining a light on a band that's enjoying its creative prime.

"We're constantly finding new ways to do what we've been doing for the past 25 years," says LeBlanc. "There's a thrill to playing for new audiences, and just blowing that crowd away. There's a thrill to releasing new material, too. We've toured every weekend, year after year, decade after decade. We just want to celebrate that."

Celebratory. That's certainly the best description of Cowboy Mouth's famed stage show, which finds LeBlanc pulling double-duty as the group's drummer and larger-than-life frontman. It's a loud, lively experience, full of sweat, songs, and the ageless energy of a rock group that hasn't lost its bite. LeBlanc insists the audience plays just as important a role as the band itself.

"With every single performance, you're building a community," he says. "People want to be part of something bigger, and that's what Cowboy Mouth's audience is: a very healthy, happy community. And we like fostering that community through kickass rock & roll."

Cowboy Mouth will continue building that community this year, thanks to an ever-growing list of tour dates that will take the band across America.
